What are you guys hoping for this year? Last year I was on the let's tank bandwagon for obvious reasons, but this year I'm a little more torn.

Also, hope there's a decent crowd Wednesday. Any word on if it looks to be a sellout?

I want to see development from Knight, Monroe, and Drummond (and the other young guys). That is my biggest concern/desire this year. As long as those guys are developing I am not overly concerned with lottery/8th seed this year.

Looking forward to getting Maggette/CV/Maxiell (though I like Maxiell a lot, always have dating back to his days at Cincy) and any of the other bad contracts off the team in the offseason.

I doubt it would be a sellout, though that is just a guess._________________

Crowd was chanting something along the lines of "we want Drummond" in the final preseason game. Hopefully Frank listens. Starting Maxiell is just a terrible idea. You have a 7 foot freak, use him.

As for want I want to see. Progression from Knight. I want to see him become a better distributor and limit his turnovers. I'd also like to see him finish stronger around the rim. Monroe, I want to see him add a consistent jump shot to his game and get a little scrappier. Sometimes it seems like he's afraid of contact...

Those 2 have to progress if we want a shot at the Playoffs. If they do, I think there's a real shot at the 8 seed._________________

Disagree. Fans should never dictate who starts or gets minutes. Maxiell has done pretty well as a starter. I have no problem with Drummond coming off the bench to start the season so he can transition a bit and get used to the rigors of the NBA. Him being on 2nd team also allows him to get more offensive touches to develop his offensive game more._________________

I want to see progression from the guys as they learn how to play with one another in Frank's system. Just as important I would like to see them play hard all the time. I can take losing but I cannot take a lackadaisical effort.

After this year Hamilton, Maxiell, Bynum, and Maggette will be off the books. Daye's might not get a qualifying offer. Charlie V has a player option for $8.5 million (yuck) that he would be a fool not to exercise. All in all it could make for an interesting off-season for 2013-2014.

I say play him. Honestly they are not winning crap this year. Give the kid the minutes and play for that lottery pick and have a stellar core moving forward._________________
